I have a love/hate relationship with balls.

I love when they get the job done, but hate when they migrate to parts unknown.

They’re not shweaty, though. I’ll give them that.

Alright. Alright. I’m talking about dryer balls, people! I apologize for the somewhat clickbaity title but every now and then, a girl’s gotta make her own fun. Plus, tomorrow is Monday and my return to the corporate sinkhole.

As you’re probably dying to know, dryer balls quicken the process by creating little pockets of air between…whatever you’re drying.

They also help soften your laundry. Because I like to live large, I use balls and liquid fabric softener! What do you think of that?

Fun fact! Dryer balls started out as Christmas gifts, by their inventor Jennifer LeBrun.

I don’t think a set of fuzzy balls under the tree would do it for me, but hey, to each his own.
